CUA Design Collaborative
Our program provides architectural services to those nonprofit and community groups in the District of Columbia.
CUAdc design teams consist of architecture faculty, staff, and students. All teams are directed and supervised by a faculty member with a professional license to practice architecture in the District of Columbia. When appropriate, additional faculty within the school, alumni, and scholars in other CUA departments serve as members of design teams.
